This crisp tangy salad is a nice side or can work well as a stand-alone meal.
Make the cilantro lime vinaigrette by whisking together the first 4 ingredients while slowly drizzling in the olive oil. Add and bit of salt and pepper to taste.
Thinly slice the onions. Rinse under cold water to take out the bite. Dry well. Thinly slice the radishes (I used watermelon radishes), toss together with the onions in a bit of the vinaigrette and let marinate in a medium bowl for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the salad.
Wash and dry the lettuce then add to the bowl with the onions and radishes. Add dressing to taste and toss well.
Next add the corn chips and avocado then gently toss.
Top the salad with a few cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.
